Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Stirrings of style in this semi-autobiographical first feature (Schepisi matured markedly in The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith and Barbarosa). But its tale of troubles in a Catholic boys' school follows the familiar catechism of crises of faith and puberty, told in the impressionistic manner that was the quality hallmark of the 'new' Australian cinema.Author: TM
